Re: Why did it take humans so long to develope what we have over the past 100+ years?

We were still in relative terms cave men till the 1800's fossil fuels can only take you so far in advancement. Then electricity was new on the scene. You had power for machines to process things more quickly.

100 or so years later the development of the transistor throughout the 20th century along with the pairing up of mass power supply is what sparked the major development, we will continue to see good growth. You have incredible processing power, the like of which made tasks literally millions of times faster. The next leap will come when we find a way to get mass power supply that is efficient.
